Editorial<br />

JANUARY 22<br />

".... From now on the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> National Republic becomes<br />

an independent, free and sovereign state of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> peo–<br />

ple...."<br />

<strong>The</strong>se were the words of the Fourth Universal that ex-<br />

pressed the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> people's desire to be independent, to<br />

choose their own leaders and establish their own way of life.<br />

Born on the ashes of crumbling empires, at a time when<br />

allien armies trampled over its fertile lands, the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> Na–<br />

tional Republic proclaimed to the world its manifest will and<br />

desire to live in peace, to attack no one, to seek amity and<br />

friendship with other nations as their equal.<br />

But it had little time to enjoy its victory that brought<br />

freedom and independence afJter long years of enslavement.<br />

Despite the fact that on January 22. 1919, all <strong>Ukrainian</strong> lands<br />

united once again by the sovereign will of the people,, the Re-<br />

public fell before the onslaught of enemies from all sides.<br />

And although we lament the fall of the Republic and<br />

denounce the cruelty of the invaders, who until this very day<br />

hold tight the chains of oppression, we rejoice in the re-birth<br />

of Ukraine forty-six years ago.<br />

Here, in the United States, there is hardly a state, city<br />

or town, where <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s live, that the event is not com–<br />

memorated. in their great devotion to the ideals of freedom<br />

and justice the American people are not indifferent to the<br />

aspirations of those who continue to struggle for the attain–<br />

ment of their God given rights. By proclaiming January 22 as<br />

"<strong>Ukrainian</strong> independence Day" the Governors, Mayors, as well<br />

as Senators and Congressmen, voice the opinion of the over-<br />

whelming majority of the American people in acknowledging<br />

the right of Ukraine to national freedom and political inde–<br />

pendence. Our participation in these commemorative events<br />

throughout the land will inspire hope and re-affirm the belief<br />

that liberty will again triumph over aggression and that U–<br />

kraine will take its rightful place in the world's family of na–<br />

tions.<br />

Ц<br />

UNA JUB1LEE YEAR<br />

On February 22 of this year the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> National Asso–<br />

ciation will have reached yet another milestone in its history.<br />

On that day the UNA will be seventy years old.<br />

Perhaps coincidental but not insignificant is the fact that<br />

February 22 is a national holiday in America, George Wash–<br />

ington'e birthday, honoring the firat President of the United<br />

States. For the story of the UNA, or "Batko Soyuz" as it is<br />

popularly known, is not unlike the story of the USA.'it was аіво<br />

started by immigrants. As they arrived here they took an active<br />

interest in their new land; they became orgaruzed,''they devel–<br />

oped the country, defended it against enemies and kept build–<br />

ing it until today it is the world's strongest and richest nation.<br />

From its early beginnings through a span of seventy years<br />

the UNA has played a leading role in the life of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />

community in the free world. <strong>The</strong>re is hardly a segment of our<br />

organized life that would not be related in one way or another<br />

to the UNA.<br />

And somehow it seems only proper that the 70th an–<br />

niversary of "Batko Soyuz" coincide with the 150th birthday<br />

anniversary of its patron and Ukraine's greatest poet and<br />

freedom fighter, Taras Shevchenko. For it was under the in–<br />

fluence of his teachings that the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> National Associa–<br />

tion came into being seventy years ago. it was his word that<br />

inspired thousands to ever greater efforts and deeds, and it<br />

is for the ultimate attainment of his ideals that we continue<br />

to strive constantly in our endeavors.<br />

it was in this spirit that the Supreme Assembly of the<br />

UNA proclaimed <strong>1964</strong> a jubilee year in commemoration of the<br />

organization's 70th anniversary, in its appeal to all <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s,<br />

members and non-members alike, the Supreme Assembly called<br />

for a solem commemoration of Taras Shevchenko's birthday<br />

anniversary reminding that <strong>1964</strong> will be Shevchenko year and<br />

that its climax will be the unveiling of the monument in his<br />

honor in Washington, D. C.<br />

For the UNA it will be a year of renewed efforts in all<br />

areas of its diverse pursuits, it will be a year that must bring<br />

further growth. And as we pause to celebrate this truly signifi–<br />

cant milestone we must launch a new phase that will bring<br />

us even greater success in the future.<br />

By CLARENCE<br />

<strong>The</strong> sudden flare-up of vio–<br />

lence along the borders of the<br />

Canal Zone in the Republic df<br />

Panama casts a lurid and un–<br />

pleasant light on the entire<br />

question of the American rela–<br />

tions not only with the Repub–<br />

lic but also with the whole of<br />

South and Central America.<br />

Any good feeling that existed<br />

in the past has been steadily<br />

eroded with the development<br />

of the present world situation<br />

and the sharp differentiation<br />

between the developed and the<br />

undeveloped countries and it<br />

has been hastened by many un–<br />

fortunate and perhaps unneces–<br />

sary actions on the part of the<br />

United States.<br />

We always have to keep in<br />

mind the belief of the more<br />

ignorant portion of the popula–<br />

tion that American prosperity<br />

has been built upon their own<br />

poverty. For nearly a century<br />

and a half most of the South<br />

American countries which won<br />

their independence from Spain<br />

early in the nineteenth century<br />

have failed to come to grips<br />

with the realities of their own<br />

independent existence. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

history has been marked by a<br />

long series of political revolu–<br />

tions which were aimed to se–<br />

cure the ascendency of one or<br />

another of the landed families.<br />

Around the turn of the pre–<br />

sent century renewed efforts by<br />

European governments to es–<br />

tablish a foothold in the New<br />

World by military and naval<br />

demonstrations were thowarted<br />

by American intervention but<br />

all these interventions served<br />

only to build up the picture<br />

of American imperialism and<br />

colonialism and the attempts<br />

to improve conditions by large<br />

scale loans and investments al–<br />

so showed a tendency to back-<br />

fire, as the price of the raw<br />

materials that were being ex-<br />

ported steadily dropped and the<br />

population saw itself more and<br />

more impoverished.<br />

When the Panama Canal was<br />

projected, these efforts of Eu–<br />

rope were at their height.<br />

France and especially the<br />

French engineer De Lesseps<br />

who had successfully built the<br />

Suez Canal were trying to build<br />

a canal across isthmus of<br />

Darien. in the administration<br />

of <strong>The</strong>odore Roosevelt, the<br />

need for the canal was intensi–<br />

fied. Since Colombia refused<br />

any - conditions acceptable to<br />

the United States, the pro–<br />

vince of Panama revolted and<br />

when its independence was re-<br />

cognized, the new country was<br />

only too glad to make a treaty<br />

with the United States under<br />

which the canal would be built<br />

and be under American control,<br />

although the Republic still<br />

maintained a titular sovereign–<br />

ty.<br />

<strong>The</strong> building of the canal was<br />

a marvel of engineering skill<br />

and. what is more, of hygienic<br />

improvement for the area, for<br />

it could not be done until the<br />

area was cleared of yellow fe–<br />

ver which had completely foil–<br />

ed all the attempts of De Les–<br />

seps to push on with the work,<br />

it rebuilt the cities at both<br />

ends of the canal and brought<br />

in many new trades and skills<br />

but at the same time it did<br />

emphasize the difference be–<br />

twecn the American and Latin-<br />

American culture and mode of<br />

life. <strong>The</strong>re were at first (and<br />

it continued far too long) dif–<br />

A. MANN1NG<br />

ferences in the rate of pay of<br />

American and Panamanian em–<br />

ployes and all of this gradual–<br />

ly built up hostility which re–<br />

mained under cover so long as<br />

it was profitable to the popula–<br />

tlon.<br />

Tensions increased<br />

it is very possible that wiser<br />

treatment of Panama during<br />

the last twenty years could<br />

have mitigated some of this<br />

feeling but the result of the<br />

two World Wars and the<br />

growth first of the League of<br />

Nations and then of the United<br />

Nations, "with their trend for<br />

international action, increased<br />

whatever tension there was,<br />

and the few concessions that<br />

the United States has made in<br />

the way of increased payments<br />

to Panama and the display of<br />

the Panamanian flag in the<br />

Canal Zone have not satisfied<br />

the masses and especially some<br />

of the students who are imbu–<br />

ed with ultra-nationalistic fer–<br />

vor.<br />

A new source of agitation<br />

came up when Egypt seized the<br />

Suez Canal on the ground that<br />

the original agreement made<br />

with the Ottoman Empire did<br />

n6t protect Egyptian rights.<br />

When Great Britain and France<br />

tried to assert their ownership<br />

rights under the old agreed<br />

ments, fighting broke out.<br />

When the United Nations or–<br />

dered it stopped, the United<br />

States threw its influence on<br />

the side of Egypt apparently<br />

without realizing that the same<br />

arguments could be applied by<br />

Panama. When the United<br />

States again supported the in–<br />

doncsian claim to West Yrion<br />

against the Netherlands, it was<br />

driving another nail into the<br />

coffin of good American-Pana–<br />

manian relations, for it seemed<br />

to the Panamanians that the<br />

difference between American<br />

policy m Europe, Asia and Af–<br />

rica and in the New World was<br />

a proof of American imperial-<br />

ism in the Americas.<br />

Flag incident і<br />

A slight incident when A–<br />

meriean students in one of the<br />

high schools in the Zone refus–<br />

ed to obey ^the order to also fly<br />

the Panamanian flag touched<br />

off the spark but it is very<br />

likely that the rioters were<br />

gathered and led by a core of<br />

agent's of Flue! Castro who had<br />

infiltrated ідЬо Panama. <strong>The</strong><br />

following riot with its large<br />

number of victims and arson<br />

forced the government of Pan–<br />

ama to extreme measures of<br />

breaking relations with the<br />

U.S. With an election com–<br />

ing on in a few months no Pan–<br />

amanian government could<br />

hope for reelection without<br />

adopting an aggressive anti-<br />

American policy and going fur–<br />

ther than their common sense<br />

would dictate.<br />

This has been the tragedy<br />

of the whole affair. <strong>The</strong> Or–<br />

ganization of American States,<br />

thoroughly aware of this and<br />

at the same time forced to<br />

believe in non-intervention ev–<br />

en while they were opposed to<br />

Communism and Castroism,<br />

found itself in a difficult situa–<br />

tion, while Communist China<br />

is openly trying to drive the<br />

situation to worse extremes<br />

and we can be sure that Fidel<br />

Castro will return from Mos–<br />

THE WASHINGTON POST'<br />

AND TARAS SHEYCHENKO<br />

(Editor's Note: This ar–<br />

ticle, by Prof. Clarence A.<br />

Manning, was written before<br />

the National Capital Plan–<br />

ning Commission's meeting<br />

of January 9. <strong>1964</strong>. at which<br />

time it reaffirmed its earlier<br />

decision on the site and de-<br />

sign of the Taras Shevchen–<br />

ko monument in Washing-<br />

ton. DJC.)<br />

<strong>The</strong> campaign of <strong>The</strong> Wash–<br />

ington Post against the erec–<br />

tion of a monument in Wash'<br />

ington to the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> poet<br />

Taras Shevchenko is fantastic<br />

and even ominous for the pro–<br />

posal was previously passed by<br />

both Houses of Congress and<br />

signed by the President of the<br />

United States.<br />

We are well aware that A–<br />

merican newspapers have the<br />

right to start such campaigns<br />

and it is guaranteed to them<br />

by the American Constitution<br />

providing for freedom of the<br />

press but we normally expect<br />

such campaigns if be conduct–<br />

ed with reason ajid propriety.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Washington Post may have<br />

good reasons for opposing this<br />

statue but in its published ar–<br />

ticles it has descended to a<br />

series of unjustified smears of<br />

the <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s in America, of<br />

Taras Shevchenko as a poet<br />

and in his possible relations<br />

with the United States, and<br />

last but not least of the mem–<br />

bem of Congress who are by<br />

inference accused of ignorance<br />

and of cheap politics amount–<br />

ing possibly almost to malfeas–<br />

ance "f office. This last is a<br />

serious charge for a newspaper<br />

to make without basis, especial–<br />

ly in he difficult political and<br />

international situation of the<br />

time.<br />

Charge of Disunity and Recri–<br />

mination<br />

in its first editorial on Octo–<br />

ber 18, 1963. <strong>The</strong> Washington<br />

Pont siys: "in the efforts to ex–<br />

ploit him (Shevchenko) there<br />

are e! ments which are offen–<br />

sive ir. various ways to Ameri–<br />

cans of Russian. German, Po–<br />

lish Catholic. Jewish. Ortho–<br />

dox and even <strong>Ukrainian</strong> baek–<br />

ground. A statue of Shevchen–<br />

ko would be a monument to<br />

disunity and recrimination a–<br />

mong Americans.<br />

bittering the situation still fur–<br />

ther. Few thinking Panama–<br />

nians really want the Ameri–<br />

cans to quit the canal and the<br />

care of the locks, a far more<br />

complicated process than the<br />

dredging of the Suez Canal<br />

which rune through relatively<br />

І low and level territory.<br />

Thus the problem is to find<br />

' a new modus vivendi which can<br />

1 save the face of both parties<br />

and the Organization of Ameri–<br />

jcan States and still be so clear–<br />

ly worded that it does not ini–<br />

prove the position of both the<br />

Russian and Chinese Commu–<br />

nists in South America and<br />

give them new ammunition for<br />

their disruptive campaign, it is<br />

a task for diplomacy at its<br />

best and at the same time a<br />

situation that demands a rigid<br />

enforcement of law and pub-<br />

lie order it will be no easy task<br />

but despite the original impact,<br />

it should not result in any<br />

permanent harm to the efforts<br />

of the United States to work<br />

out better relations with South<br />

America and strengthen the Al–<br />

liance for Progress.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> congressmen who were<br />

persuaded to support the Shev–<br />

chenko statue: Senators Javits<br />

and Keating, Representatives<br />

Lesineki, Paul Jones and others<br />

—should at once act to reverse<br />

their earlier error."<br />

We cannot enter into an an–<br />

alysis of the motives of all the<br />

congressmen who voted for the<br />

resolution but we must indicate<br />

that Senator Javits is a re–<br />

spected American of the Jew–<br />

ish faith who has protested<br />

many times in Congress and<br />

out of it against anti-Semitism<br />

and the persecution of the<br />

Jews in the Soviet Union. Can<br />

we assume that he ignorantly<br />

and by inadvertence lent his<br />

name and efforts to an anti-<br />

Semitic cause to promote A–<br />

merican disunity? in the same<br />

way Representative Lesinski<br />

has long been openly connected<br />

with the influential Polish-A–<br />

merican group.in Michigan and<br />

is a member of the Polish Y"et–<br />

erans of America. We can hard–<br />

ly ascribe anti-Polish feelings<br />

to him, feelings which accord–<br />

ing to <strong>The</strong> Washington Post<br />

were some of the strongest in<br />

Shevchenko. Thus the leaders<br />

in the movement to erect the<br />

statue were men who on any<br />

showing were already familiar<br />

with the material and could be<br />

presumed to offer disinterested<br />

judgement of it.<br />

Universally Recognized Poet<br />

<strong>The</strong> artistic genius of Shev–<br />

chenko and the overwhelming<br />

role which he played in the U–<br />

krainian revival during the<br />

nineteenth century have been<br />

universally recognized not only<br />

by <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s (not "Ukran–<br />

ians" as <strong>The</strong> Washington Post<br />

in its zeal for consistency spel–<br />

led the word in the article of<br />

Oct. 25) hut also by all stu–<br />

dents of Slavic literature, many<br />

of whom have regarded him as<br />

the greatest of Slavic poets re–<br />

gardless of language. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

facts are beyond contradiction<br />

;.nd the arguments against the<br />

erection of the monument can<br />

properly be reduced to two on–<br />

ly - the fact that he never<br />

visited America or played, an<br />

active role in American history<br />

and eecondly that he was not<br />

a military man.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se two arguments have<br />

no real merit. During the adr<br />

ministration of President Eisen–<br />

i bower, the Post Office Depart -<br />

ment issued a long series of<br />

stamps marking Champions of<br />

Liberty to honor distinguished<br />

men who had done their part<br />

-, in other nations to cherish and<br />

' foster that spirit'of liberty end<br />

independence of which the A–<br />

merieans are so rightfully<br />

і proud. Shevchenko belonged in<br />

that category and it is not only<br />

<strong>Ukrainian</strong>s who urged that his<br />

picture be included in that se–<br />

ries.<br />

Yet in a sense that is not<br />

fully appreciated. Taras Shev–<br />

chenko from the time when he<br />

was first taken to Warsaw and<br />

St. Petersburg, was brought<br />

j into contact with those move–<br />

1 ments for human liberty which<br />

had taken their rise in the A–<br />

merican struggle for independ–<br />

ence and in the contacts that<br />

the leaders of the younger lib–<br />

f rty-loving Europeans had with<br />

the great figures of the Ameri–<br />

can Revolution who did the<br />

work of this country as its rep–<br />

resentatives in Europe. We are<br />

still far from knowing all of<br />

UNA HAS A GOOD PRODUCT<br />

By THEODORE LUTWTN1AK<br />

in recent years advertise–<br />

ments have been appearing in<br />

newspapers and specially print–<br />

ed circulars about life insur–<br />

ance at very low rates. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

ads were not placed by well-<br />

known insurance companies but<br />

by banking and similar institu–<br />

tions. <strong>The</strong> rates are indeed un–<br />

unsually attractive and we do<br />

not doubt that many people<br />

are bylng policies.<br />

Some secretaries of branches<br />

of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> National As–<br />

sociatlon wrote to the Main Of–<br />

fice in Jersey City and report–<br />

ed they were having more trou–<br />

ble than usual in Signing up<br />

new members because of the<br />

ads about cheap insurance.<br />

Offhand we would say there<br />

is no such thing as "cheap in–<br />

surance". Like everything else<br />

on the market, one gets only<br />

what one pays for. For in–<br />

etance, there are many differ–<br />

ent new cars on the market,<br />

each with a different price tag.<br />

it is the quality of a given<br />

product that makes all the<br />

price difference. <strong>The</strong> same goes<br />

for insurance. <strong>The</strong>re are many<br />

different kinds of life insurance<br />

policies, it stands to reason<br />

that a policy offered at a low<br />

rate would not have the same<br />

features as a policy offered at<br />

a higher rate. Take cash value,<br />

for example. Which policy<br />

would have more cash value,<br />

the cheap one or the more ex-<br />

pensive one? Which would earn<br />

a higher dividend? Speaking<br />

of dividends, it is very possible<br />

that the cheap policy is non-<br />

participating and therefore<br />

earns nothing. What about ben–<br />

efits? UNA members may ap–<br />

ply for assistance from the in–<br />

digent Fund in the event of<br />

chronic, long standing illnoSg,<br />

permanent disability, or ampu–<br />

tation; they have a democratic<br />

system of government, branch<br />

meetings, conventions, frater–<br />

nalism, their own newspaper<br />

and publications, and the en-<br />

tire organization belongs to<br />

them.<br />

Cheap insurance may also be<br />

term insurance, if so, one may<br />

expect the rate to increase as<br />

one gets older. This may occur<br />

on an annual basis, or every<br />

three years, or every five years.<br />

Such insurance may be "renew–<br />

ed" and sometimes this requires<br />

evidence of insurability. Look<br />

out for a clause that eliminates<br />

the renewable factor or reduces<br />

the insurance 'after a certain<br />

age!<br />

<strong>The</strong> UNA pays dividends on<br />

its certificates after two calen–<br />

dar years, it woifld not sur–<br />

prise us at all iJJ the waiting<br />

period for the fh^ dividend on<br />

the cheap insurance is much<br />

longer if there is a dividend,<br />

that is.<br />

<strong>The</strong> UNA issues firet class,<br />

standard insurance certificates<br />

at rates that compare favorab–<br />

ly with those of reputable in–<br />

surance companies. <strong>The</strong> UNA<br />

has a good product and it is<br />

worth the money.<br />

rest included dreams of a great<br />

federation of republican states<br />

which would incorporate those<br />

ideals which his contemporaries<br />

saw in the America of the day.<br />

We know that Shevchenko read<br />

the works of Washington irv–<br />

it was no empty boast or fool–<br />

Before World War H the<br />

SHEVCHENKO IN THE IEW–<br />

iSH LANGUAGE<br />

"<strong>The</strong> critical literature on<br />

Shevchenko in the Jewish lan–<br />

gudge appeared long before the<br />

Jewish translations of the<br />

works of Shevchenko. it pre–<br />

pared the basis for the grasp–<br />

ing and understanding -if tin-<br />

poems of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> genius<br />

although Shevchenko was<br />

known in Jewish literary circles<br />

and already appreciated in the<br />

nineties of the previous centu–<br />

ry. For instance, the well-<br />

known Jewish poet. A. Reizen<br />

("Epizodn Fun– Majn Lebm.<br />

WUno, 1П21. ' 1. p. 55) still as<br />

a 17-year-o! 1 boy was enthu–<br />

siastic over the lyrical poems<br />

of Shevchenko and in spite of<br />

the fact that he still did not<br />

know <strong>Ukrainian</strong> perfectly. He<br />

confesses in his recollections<br />

that he long remained under<br />

a deep influence of the beauty<br />

of Shevchenko's poetry <strong>The</strong><br />

same applies to other Jewish<br />

poets born in Ukraine includ–<br />

ine, David Hofstcin and Osher<br />

Sell wart ?:nian. Before World<br />

War 1 both were very interest–<br />

ed in Shevchenko's works.<br />

Translations of his poetry<br />

started only after World War<br />

І and since then the popularity<br />

of Shevchenko in J– wish litera–<br />

tun increased every year.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore, the information a–<br />

bout the project of the publica–<br />

tion of all of Shevchenko's po–<br />

etrv. which appeared in the<br />

daily in Kharkiv (Stern, 12 ill.<br />

1929) made the impression "f<br />

ko. P. Markish. D Hofst. in, L.<br />

Reznik, and E. !'ininberg. in<br />

193" there appeared in Kiev a<br />

volume of Shevchenko's poetry<br />

translated by D. Hofstein but<br />

we could not get it <strong>The</strong>refore,<br />

we must limit ourselves in this<br />

survey to translations which<br />

appear sporadically, especially<br />

because "f the anniversaries or<br />

jubilees of the poet S. Gorelik<br />

is the first insofar as 1 could<br />

establish, among the Jewish<br />

writers who became deeply ae–<br />

quainted with Shevchenko, and<br />

speaks about him with the<br />

greatest sympathy as. above<br />

all. a national and supraclass<br />

poet (n. poet standing over<br />

classes of society). As such he<br />

also remained for the not nu–<br />

merous translators from east'<br />

ern Galicia. <strong>The</strong> opinion that<br />

Shevchenko was prejudiced a–<br />

jjainet the J ?ws did scatter N.<br />

Mafzel, the present editor of<br />

Literarlsche Rleter in War-<br />

saw, translating from manu–<br />

script an article of Cherkasen–<br />

ko (a distinguished <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />

writer) which proved that hu–<br />

manism is th.– characteristic<br />

of Shevchenko's world outlook.<br />

When Shevchenko proclaim–<br />

ed that truth and right must<br />

reign in the world it could not<br />

help but reecho in the litera–<br />

ture of an unhappy nation, of<br />

which the Jews are one and<br />

whose national consciousness<br />

developed almost eimultaneous–<br />

jly with that of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />

nation. <strong>The</strong> ethical national<br />

world outlook of Shevchenko<br />

appealed to the translators<br />

from East Galicia: B. Horowitz.<br />

A. Klein. Sh. Melzer. Horowitz,<br />

born in Maidan near Stanisla–<br />

viv and a Jewish poet of the<br />

younger generation, translated<br />

<strong>Ukrainian</strong> folk songs and pub–<br />

lished translations of several of<br />

Shevchenko's poems in 1924-25<br />

which can be regarded as equal<br />

to the originals, in the same<br />

vears A. Klein and at that time<br />

still a student of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />

lishcd for the Jewish youth<br />

of this School a handwritten<br />

paper Der EigCner Klang which<br />

was permeated with the cult<br />

of Shevchenko. <strong>The</strong> author of<br />

this article, who also finished<br />

the mentioned gymnasium, prc–<br />

pared a whole series of Shev–<br />

ehenko's poetry for printing as<br />

arly as 1023 (e. g.. "Hama–<br />

lia". "Pcrebendia". "lv,in Pid–<br />

na'. "Do Osnovianenka".<br />

"Topolia" and many others).<br />

But all that, as the previously<br />

mentioned translations. re-<br />

mains yet in manuscript form<br />

while waiting for better times.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Jewish literature in the<br />

Soviet Ukraine Underscores in<br />

Shevchenko. above all, the an–<br />

ti-c^arist and antireligious<br />

tendencies and regards him as<br />

an expression of the torments<br />

and. the rebellion of his peas-<br />

aril class, putting into the<br />

background his ethical and na–<br />

tional world outlook. Of all the<br />

translators in Soviet Ukraine<br />

perhaps the most noted is one<br />

of the chief representatives of<br />

Jewish poetry the already<br />

mentioned D. Hofstein. it was<br />

he who translated the poems,<br />

"<strong>The</strong> Caucasus," "<strong>The</strong> Dream,"<br />

"Saul," and many others. Sel–<br />

dom do we find in his transla–<br />

tions mistakes of syntax of the<br />

Jewish language, casually he<br />

uses the white verse where<br />

Shevchenko uses assonances.<br />

Another excellent translator<br />

is M. Chashchc Wacky; Reznik<br />

and Fininberg. however, are<br />

disappointing inspite - of the<br />

fact that their names are pop–<br />

ular in the Jewish literature<br />

on the other river bank of<br />

Zbruch.<br />

Голова ГУ СУМА<br />

ДО НАШИХ ЗОВНІШНІХ ЗАВДАНЬ<br />

(З промови голови ГУ, виголошеної на пленумі СУМА)<br />

Живемо в країні, яка дала нам можливість організованого<br />

жнтгя, повного вияву себе назовні, в країні, яка на політичному<br />

світовому форумі мас рішальний голос.<br />

Коекзистенція, яку Москва накидає вільному світові,<br />

щоб під цим плащиком вести розкладову рободу, крнс в собі<br />

велику небезпеку для Заходу. Внутрішня слабість московської<br />

імперії, відосередні сили поневолених Москвою народів<br />

загрожують комуністам поразкою на випадок війни, і тому<br />

вона хоче осягнуги свою ціль без війни, через облудну КОЄКзистенцію.<br />

.Ситуація для поневоленого українського народу, який<br />

бореться проти московського імперіялізму за свою незалежність,<br />

не с нині пригожа. Тож наша організована сумівська<br />

молодь, передусім та, що вчитіся в гайскулах і університетах,<br />

а разом з нею і вся українська молодь, мусить поставитн<br />

собі повсякденне завдання спростовування фальшивих<br />

інформації! про український народ і його визвольну боротьбу.<br />

Знаючи добре англійську мову, українська молодь мас<br />

широкі можливості реагувати в американській пресі на знес<br />

:аплюваннл української боротьби та фальшування нашої<br />

історії.<br />

Не дивлячись на те. шо сьогодні західній світ не згадує<br />

про поневолений український народ і його визвольну боротьбу,<br />

ми. маючи сильну віру в слушність нашої справи, озбросні<br />

ідейно, мусимо бути проповідниками ідеї визволення свого<br />

народу. Нехай комусь здасться, що це утопія, абсурд, але<br />

сажлнве. щоб ми непохитно вірили в свою правду. Напевно<br />

знайдеться багато таких, які підтримають нас у нашій<br />

слушній справі. Хоч їх сьогодні с горстка, завтра вже буде<br />

напевно куди більше. І наш спільний голос формуватиме<br />

публічну думку.<br />

Не можемо забувати ще про один важливий факт, що<br />

дуже часто ускладнює міжнародні взаємовідносини. Це —<br />

світова політична коньюнкгура. Сьогодні повна коекзнстенція<br />

з Москвою, ,.братолюбіс" на папері, а завтра можуть<br />

повітря протинати далекосяжні ракети. І тому, що ft таке<br />

може статися, нам треба бути якнайбільш підготованим. Тож<br />

н п сміємо опуекятн пук. не сміємо марнувати жадного дня<br />

в бездіяльності. Кожний прояв живучости української спіль<br />

ноти, а передусім молоді на еміграції, дає певність нашому<br />

народові в поневоленій Україні, шо ця його заокеанська частина<br />

працює і діє у вільному світі для його визволення з-під<br />

московсько-большевнцького панування.<br />

Не марнуймо ж ні одної нагоди, особливо'молодь СУМА,<br />

на зовнішньому відтинку! , ,.<br />

Фізичного розвитку Юнацтва,<br />

Пленум відмічає розгорнення<br />

праці на цьому відтинку в останньому<br />

завдань. Пленум пору<br />

A REMINDER FROM<br />

HISTORY<br />

<strong>The</strong> close of the second<br />

World war brought a flood of<br />

immigrants into the United<br />

States, among them, the U–<br />

kminians. <strong>The</strong>se people came<br />

to America to get away from<br />

і oppressors who forbade them<br />

' to practice their religious and<br />

political beliefs. Altho they are<br />

now in a new country, old cus–<br />

! toras, which date back to the<br />

і loth century, atill are being<br />

practiced by the newcomers.<br />

From the Ukraine, a Slavic<br />

! country south of Russia and<br />

і north of the Black Sea in easterr.<br />

Europe, come perfectly<br />

tin cd dance steps and perfectly<br />

executed dance routines. <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Ukrainian</strong> sword dance can be<br />

traced back to the days when<br />

thi Kozaks (Cossacks) were<br />

figiting the Turks for national<br />

freedom. Many a night, a Ko–<br />

ZELY would recall in dance pan–<br />

tonime a fight to the death or<br />

the death of a comrade. A high–<br />

junping warrior and a slashing<br />

gw( rd were to signify Ukraine's<br />

fight for freedom.<br />

7he Ukraine has been oc–<br />

ouiied by the Russian imperial–<br />

ietic government for more than<br />

two centuries. Not until 1018.<br />

during the first World war did<br />

the <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s proclaim their<br />

freedom and fight off the op–<br />

prrteors-ftfchvbotb ajdee of her<br />

borders—the Red on the north<br />

and the German on the west.<br />

Both of these powers promised<br />

freedom for the Ukraine if she<br />

would help beat off the other<br />

"enemy." But her valiant fight<br />

was crushed by the heels of<br />

both sides, supposedly never to<br />

rise again. <strong>The</strong> start of World<br />

War H, however, again brought<br />

the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> partisan to both<br />

fronts, and again promises<br />

came from both sides. This<br />

time, from past experiences,<br />

the <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s fought off both<br />

aggressors. But during the<br />

peace parceling, Ukraine was<br />

"given" to Russia.<br />

All this 1 know because 1 was<br />

born in West Germany, during<br />

the second World war, of U–<br />

krainian parents forced to flee<br />

their homeland because of be–<br />

liefs which were not tolerated<br />

there.<br />

For 10 years 1 have been<br />

dancing with a group of U–<br />

krainian Americans who strive<br />

to keep alive the culture and<br />

customs of our beloved forefathers.<br />

We present our dances<br />

to remind freedom-loving peo–<br />

ple of their heritage and to be<br />

on the alert to keep our new<br />

country free from any oppres–<br />

sor.<br />

ГОЛОВНА УПРАВА СУМА<br />

ділиться з своїм Членством сумною вісткою,<br />

що 4-го грудня 1963 року відійшов у Вічність<br />

невтомний працівник СУМА — Голова Осередку<br />

ім. Броди в Ню Брітені, Бонн.,<br />

Головна Управа СУМА<br />

Юнацький відділ в Ню Йорку плянуе<br />

створити три нових гуртки<br />

Хоч у Відділі Юнацтва нюйоркського<br />

Осередку с вже<br />

багато гуртків, в останньому<br />

часі підготовляється створення<br />

трьох нових гуртків: ryp–<br />

тск радіоаматорів, гурток pa– t<br />

діотехніків та авдіогурток.<br />

Нижче подасмо коротку<br />

програму цих гуртків.<br />

Гурток радіоаматорів<br />

Займається слуханням і студіюванням<br />

програм на коротких<br />

хвилях з цілого світу. Для<br />

цього потрібний добрий КОроткохвилевин<br />

радіоприймач,<br />

який можна сконструювати<br />

самому, закупивши потрібні<br />

частини. Цей гурток стимулюс<br />

зацікавлення широким<br />

світом, мовами різних народів,<br />

їх життям, ПОЛІТИКОЮ, НОВИиами,<br />

звітодавством і технікою<br />

радіозвуку.<br />

При поглибленні праці члени<br />

гуртка можуть набути дозвіл<br />

(ліцензію) Федеральної<br />

Комунікаційної Комісії і збу-<br />

дувати індивідуально або групово<br />

аматорську радіовисильню,<br />

яка не вимагає надто велнкнх<br />

коштів. Для цього на<br />

американському книжковому<br />

ринку є багата фахова література.<br />

з якої члени гуртка можуть<br />

черпати відповідні відомостн<br />

і знання.<br />

Керувати гуртком повинен<br />

інженер або заавансований<br />

радіо . аматор, який, крім теоретнчної<br />

підготовн..' міг 'би<br />

служити членам гуртка практнчними<br />

порадами та. відповідно<br />

до знання і здібностей<br />

членів гуртка, давати їм іцораз<br />

складніші завдання.<br />

Ніна Баб'як,<br />

навіть здобувати фінанси для<br />

праці Осередку.<br />

На цю тему існус багата література<br />

в чужих мовах, а особливо<br />

в англійській. Є спеціяльні<br />

підручники для радіотехніків<br />

- початківців, з яких<br />

члени гуртка можуть вивчати<br />

деталі радіотехніки та nepe–<br />

водити в практиці на щотижневнх<br />

практичних зайняттях<br />

гуртка. В окремих крамннцях<br />

можна дешево закуповуватн<br />

окремі частини чи потрібний<br />

допомогу можуть давати такі<br />

гуртки під час сумівських<br />
